Whether for birthdays, Valentine’s Day, or anniversaries women love receiving romantic gifts. Unfortunately, many men often struggle with purchasing romantic gifts and may find that they would like a little help when it comes to choosing the best gift for the woman he loves.
A great way to find creative ideas for romantic gifts is to base the present on something special that you and your partner share. For instance, think back to how you first met, where you went on your first date, where you shared your first kiss, etc. If you saw a movie together, or spent your first date at the zoo, then bring these themes into your gift and your will have created a unique and romantic gift. Here are some other ideas for romantic gifts that all women love and enjoy:
Gift Baskets
Gift baskets are wonderful because they can be filled with various items, from chocolate and lingerie to bath and body products. A special touch is to create your own gift baskets, based upon the items that you know will hold special sentimental value for her. However, if you don’t feel comfortable creating your own, you can have one customized and shipped to your recipient.
Diamonds
Diamonds are a girl’s best friend and women love them, regardless if they are in the form of rings, bracelets, necklaces, earrings, or tiaras. Diamonds are one of the most popular romantic gifts given.
Jewelry
Jewelry is always a winner. However, don’t think that you always have to spend a fortune in diamonds to be romantic. Look for gifts that incorporate birthstones, hearts, flowers, and other gemstones as alternatives. Lockets are extremely romantic, especially if you put yours and her picture in the necklace ahead of time. Always consider having a piece of jewelry engraved for an extra romantic touch.
Roses
Roses are full of romance, and full bloom red roses signify true love. Every woman appreciates a bouquet of red roses.
Chocolate
Women adore chocolate and you can never go wrong giving this specialty treat. You can add more romance to your gift by choosing fine gourmet chocolates that come in decorated and stylish boxes and unique gift-wraps.
Teddy Bears
Women love teddy bears and though men may find them cute at best and silly at worst, women find them romantic. Teddy bears are great whether they are overstuffed, bearing hearts that say, “I love you”, are featured in gift baskets, or are imprinted on other gift items.
Hearts
Along with teddy bears, hearts are also a favorite gift item. Whether it is heart jewelry, heart shaped items, or hearts imprinted on gifts if it bears a heart, it is romantic.
Bath/Body & Spa Items
Whether you are adding these gifts to a gift basket or sending a gift certificate for a day spa, women love gifts that entitle them to beautifying indulgences.
Cruise
Nothing says romance, relaxation, and fun more than a cruise. One of the best romantic gifts given to a woman is a cruise spent with the one that she loves.

Oh, wow.
Did you miss the mark on this one or what?
I have been digging through this website for two hours straight since I discovered it,and I have like and respected most everything that I read so far. This article, however, is the first article I have read when the answer is just wrong.
All of these answers are boring, trite, and worthy of a huge eye-roll to most women.
Gift baskets are cheesy–especially if you didn't even pick out the items yourself. That is a gift that is sent to the re-gifting pile for gift emergencies. Any guy with money can buy jewelry–and how can you be sure that she will actually like that piece of jewelry and will want to wear it? Roses? Please. Chocolates? Try again. Teddy bears for for girls in middle school. Heart shaped items make many women have to repress the urge to vomit. The spa items are getting warmer, but not really. A cruise is a nice idea–just be sure that you choose dates when you know she has nothing important happening…
I can't express enough that women really appreciate gifts that show that their guys are listening to and thinking about them. Buy her the book she has been wanting for a while. Get her the DVD box set of her favorite TV series that has been off the air for a long time. Buy her tickets to hear her favorite author speak.
Look around her home–this is probably going to give you the best ideas for gifts. One of the best gifts I ever received was a brand new laundry basket because the guy noticed that all mine were looking awful. (This was a spur of the moment gift, not a major present, so maybe not for a birthday or anniversary. Use common sense.)
If she collects things, get online and research it–find a nice or rare item that she may be missing from her collection.
What about a vintage poster from her all-time favorite movie? Complete the present with tickets stubs from the movie's opening night you find on eBay, and have it all framed.
What about filling a lovely blank book with your favorite things about her, your favorite memories of her, and anything and everything else you could put in there–lyrics that make you think of her, movie lines that made you laugh, dates that are important…?
It doesn't have to be expensive, just thoughtful, guys. Be thoughtful.

I agree. Although these things are nice they are overused and and more common place.
I also suggest picking one area that she is fond of. (music, movies, ect.) and work on that. Such as make her a cd of songs that remind you of her or even a really thought out date can be a nice present.
whatever yu do make it special to her
that's what really counts
she wants to know that you think of her and care about her.
